Major Air Route Closed - No Reason Given

[Fearless]

(Whitley Stieber is a UFO abductee and author. I haven't been able to find this story anywhere else. It was emailed to me today.)<br><br>Major Air Route Closed--No Reason Given<br>13-Sep-2005<br><br>A temporary flight restriction has been issued by the FAA for a major North Pacific air corridor, covering air routes R-222, R-580 and A-590. The restriction covers the dates September 10-15. The cloture of these major routes is highly unusual, is said to be due to a Department of Defense Strategic Defense Initiative, but the nature of that initiative has not been revealed. <br>The FAA has said that aircraft can fly north of the affected routes into Russian airspace, but Russian security regulations limit the number of available altitudes, raising a safety question during high-traffic periods on these major routes. <br><br>Extra time and fuel will be needed to fly the alternate routes. An airline pilot comments, "I have never seen a major international route closed like this." <br><br>Inquiries to the FAA and the Defense Department have gone unacknowledged. <br><br>In the past routes in this area have been closed at times due to plumes from volcanos on the Kamchatka penninsula, but there are no such volcanic plumes at this time. There is also no known exercise, satellite or missile re-entry to explain the closure. Normally, a major military exercise, even if its nature was classified, would be announced well in advance. <br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.unknowncountry.com/news/?id=4846">www.unknowncountry.com/news/?id=4846</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.unknowncountry.com/img/news/092005/routes-1.jpg"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br> <p></p><i></i>

They had the story that somebody accidently cut the cable, however it must have been a mighty big cable... so I ain't buying it... <p></p><i></i>
